German TUV Mark certification
German TUV Mark certification
(1) Abief introduction
The full name of TUV Bauart Mark is the German electrical appliances and
components safety certification Mark, also known as the type approval Mark or
TUV Mark, which has a very high degree of recognition in the EU market.
Suitable for electrical parts, such as power supply, transformer, dimmer,
relay, connector, plug, wire and other mechanical parts and sports equipment
parts. It's commonly known as the TUV logo. The TUV logo is different for each
TUV company. Among them, TUV Rheinland is the most widespread. Its test method
is also more demanding, through the extraction of second-tier brand-name
products in the EU market for comparative testing, the overall test performance
must reach the average level of all the comparative test products, and the
single test must also be higher than the average test level, in order to pass
the test and issue the TUV-mark certificate and logo. Through this
certification to enhance the competitiveness of the product market has an
important guiding significance.
The TuV Bauart mark indicates that
the product has passed independent testing and factory audits by TUV Rheinland
or TUV SUD, certifies that the product meets the safety requirements of the
relevant European or international standards, and is subject to regular
production process reviews. The TUV Bauart logo is widely recognized by
manufacturers and national certification bodies in Europe and around the world.
TUV Bauart Mark can help component manufacturers prove the
safety of their products, making their products more competitive in the market
and attracting buyers to purchase this product. At the same time, parts buyers
can also use the TuV Bauart logo to ensure the safety of purchased parts and
products, saving delivery cycles and additional testing costs.
Generally speaking, TUV can issue
TUV Bauart certificates, but also can issue other certificates, such as CE,
FCC, CB. TUV's CB certificate in Europe and the world is very professional and
authoritative, in the process of machine certification, where the TuV logo
components are exempt from inspection. TUV Bauart certificate is a continuation
of the German GS certificate, GS is the complete machine certificate, parts
often in the hands that can not issue GS certificate will choose TUV Bauart
certificate as a substitute, its authority is comparable to GS certificate.
Due to TUV's authority in the field of
electronic and electrical appliances, its CB certificate and other electronic
and electrical certificates are more expensive. Non-european countries can
apply for the corresponding product certification through third-party agents or
directly from TUV Rheinland and TUV SUD.

2, can show the unique characteristics of the product
3, can be combined with one or more product characteristics
to declare
4, with the TUV mark, not only to ensure the safety and
quality factors of the product, but also to provide other certification
information, such as ergonomics. This increases the credibility of your
products and makes purchasing decisions easier for buyers and consumers.
